Tequila comes in different varieties including blanco or white, joven or gold, reposado, añejo, and extra añejo depending on the aging process. Blanco and joven tequilas undergo minimal aging while reposado, añejo and extra añejo are aged in oak barrels for 2 months to over 3 years, imparting a golden-brown color and smoother taste.
